Der neue Hausgast ihres Herrn fasziniert sie: Er arbeitet ununterbrochen und zieht viele Besucher an. Sein Name ist René Descartes und sie ist zu neugierig, um Distanz zu wahren. Helenas Charme und ihr Wissensdurst beeindrucken ihn. Und so geschieht, was nicht sein darf: Sie verlieben sich - sie, Calvinistin und nur eine einfache Magd, er, Katholik und Europas aufstrebender Philosoph. Doch beide lassen sich vom vorherrschenden Standesdünkel des Goldenen Zeitalters in Holland nicht aufhalten.

Chasing a suspect in the rain, Aldo discovers a horrifying scene beneath Michelangelo’s statue of David. Lifeless eyes gaze from the face of a man whose body has been posed as if crucified.

With his career waning and his patron, Lord D’Aubigny, growing tired of him, he throws caution to the wind and writes a satirical play, Eastward Ho!
